From time to time I am reminded of the corners cut on game consoles. My Xbox One S plays DVDs but it doesn’t play CDs. It doesn’t play HEVC. I really wish I could have just one box next to the TV that satisfies all media needs.

I’ve generally had a good experience with Xbox cloud gaming. I’ve been playing city skylines on xcloud and decided to try downloading it to my xbox one s since my Bay Area internet keeps going it. Playing the game locally was super laggy and I only lasted a few minutes before deleting the game and playing via xcloud again.
